  November 22, 2020 - Decanted for an hour. Blackberry and lots of jam on first taste. Not much tannins left and the finish was moderate at best. Overall not bad but also nothing to bring me back as there are lots of wines that I liked more.

  December 14, 2019 - Camphor on the nose. On the palate, cherry and red and black berry fruit with notes of cocoa and savory spice on the medium finish, with strong tannins and strong acidity on the medium to long finish. This is near its peak, but it should hold for some years. This was an excellent value at about $30.

  August 9, 2019 - A bit tight on opening, but showed well after an hour decant.
  Ripe, fruit forward yet structured dusty tannins. Has fruit, yet not sweet.
  Cocoa, leather, spice.
  Good length on finish, albeit a bit simple.
  Excellent for Sonoma cab.
  Loved by the wife - her favored mix of fruit, silky texture, tannins. Rich without being overly fruity or tannic.
  Me - 91/92, Wife - 93
